Replaced Resonator with Flowmaster 40

[jbou91]

Why would you put a muffler where the resonator should be? 

[35RSkyline]

You should have took the stock muffeler off then it would have some tone

[BRINX161]

I6 are pretty decent

[sal2421]

man take that off looks wack put a electric cut out if you want to sound loud .4.3 just cant get that sound like 5.7 0r the 6.0 electric cut might give you a decent sound

[perrythekiller]

[Basebal4life92]

My dad has an 05 tb. Its beast. I like to drive it cuz of how much power it has. You get on it and it goes, and does it quickly too. My 225 slant six could only dream of being that quick. I wouldnt say the tb is gutless. For a vehicle that weighs almost 6000 lbs. Id say a 0-60 in under 6 seconds is good. My truck weighs almost the same and itd probably do 0-60 at least under 2 minutes. lol

[filipinofantasy]

Definately need to take out the main resonator under the front passenger door. I did the same with my LTZ but it is little too loud but you get the best performance outta it.

[els56]

Why do people think an aftermarket muffler sounds good on a six cylinder vehicle?

[Serjio777777777777]

hi, i have 295 LTZ 2007

do i understand proper, that we have resonator and muffler?

u replaced R and M with this muffler from flowmaster???

[Serjio777777777777]

what if i will put two 44 flowmaster ??? will i loose some power???

thx

[RACErocker]

anytime you open up an exhaust TOOOO much you run the risk of losing some power, i own a PT Cruiser and i replaced the stock 2 1/4 pipe from the cat back with 2.5 pipe all the way to a straight thru muffler and i lost bottom end power with that, its all what you want, that deep tone (bigger pipe and more free flowing) or have it crackle and keep the same amount of power, hope this helped a lil

[r0ckworthy]

Sounds a lot better than stock. I want one. It's louder so you can actually hear the engine but it's not so loud as to be annoying or cause a drone inside the cabin. Right on. I like the way it looks too.

[RACErocker]

if ur looking for an excellent sound, look up the Flowmaster 50 Series SUV muffler, trust me my grandpa has 1 on his 03 5.7L HEMI Ram and it sounds TOUGH! but in the cab its barely louder than stock, im waiting to see what it will sound like towing our 1988 24 foot four winns :)

[bowtiebarn]

Why would you take the resonator off and put one back on. That's what a muffler does. So you spent $100.00 bucks on a muffler so you could have two again? Just take out the factory one now ( the one under the passengers seat ) and put a straight pipe in it's place

[ivanruiz89]

get rid of your entire exhaust from the manifolds back and straight pipe it all the way out the and then put this flowmaster on the end.

[Rudeboi253]

@ivanruiz89 It will sound like ISH and the cabin drone is annoying...

[filipinofantasy]

@ivanruiz89 exactly



[texasz71dan]

I've had no issues towing with my 4.2L either. Towed my wifes Trailblazer SS from Washington State to Connecticut when I moved here. I towed because I have a lift with 09 Z71 Tahoe springs and shocks in the rear, so I don't get the sag like the stockers. No real issues pulling her SS though. Fuel economy sucked, but I more than doubled the weight.....and yes, 275hp is the correct #. Dyno'd mine with flowmaster 77 and Air Raid intake and PCM4less tune at 258 rwhp...

[Domman56]

u should delete ur factory muffler

[hXcKinkBMX]

chevrolet blazers are gutless. I raced one in my I6 4.0 jeep and spanked it

[lol123m]

what i think is gay is that the chevy blazer is a smaller truck with a bigger motor

trailblazer= 4.2

blazer= 4.3

and people wonder why the trailblazer is gutless.

get an SS or just a normal blazer.

[Bigmada]

I don't think it is that much larger than a Chevy Blazer. The only difference in motors is that the 4.3 is a V6 and the 4.2 is an inline 6. If I waited one more year I could have gotten the SS instead. I would like to get a Tahoe, but I'm starting to like not having a payment every month. I have an S10 with a 4.3 and I think that is gutless.

Thanks for the comment

Peace

Bigmada

[Frost131989]

Gay? Well sure the 4.2 may be 0.1 litres smaller but the fact that it has like 75 more HP than the 4.3 makes your statement basically irrelevant lol.

In case you haven't noticed, lately the way engine trends go, displacement goes down while HP goes up.

[lol123m]

i wouldnt be so sure if i was you

according to my Gmpp catalogue

4.3 = 195hp 278ftpds

4.2 = 170hp 220ftpds

so thanks Bigmada

and

Frost131989

but the catalogue doesnt lie

[grazzhopper1111]

umm have you ever pulled any thing with a 4.3 and a 4.2? cause i have and there is a big difference between the 4.2 and the 4.3.... the 4.2 is way better on power its a great every day motor i now i had a blazer with a 4.3 and have now a tb with a 4.2 ...... but i would still rather have an SS, they are just funner

[lol123m]

i pulled my boat with both my dads tb and my 4.3 the 4.3 didnt die like the 4.2 did going uphill.

[grazzhopper1111]

thats horrible my 4.2 tb has no sweat towing up hill.... i towed my dads f150 300 miles thru arkansas and tennessee and had no prob...... damn that sucks really hard

[blueeyedguy9520]

TAKE IT OUT OF DRIVE AND PUT IT IN 3 FOR TOWING. GET RI OF THE STOCK AIR CLEANER AND GET A KIT OR ATLEAST A K$M FILTER.(JUST LIKE THE OLD VORTEC 4.3'S EASIEST WAY TO GET YOUR POWER AND MILAGE TO SUCK IS TO HAVE A OLD AIR FILTER. i ALSO USE FULL SYNTHETIC OIL WICH HELPS AND CHANGE YOUR FUEL FILTER AFTER 60K MILES AND JUST FEEL THE DIFFERENCE. ......LATERS

[Bigmada]

good advice.

[dfton]

@blueeyedguy9520 your grammar fucking sucks

[Frost131989]

hold on a sec. ANY, i repeat ANY website you go to will tell you that the 4.2 L I-6 has 275 HP @ 6000 RPM

i dont know what source you are getting this from but i have found NOTHING telling me that the trailblazer has 170 hp.

go to google, search "hp 2005 trailblazer" and see what EVERY result on the first page says. 275 HP, 275 HP, 275 HP........ the list goes on and on

oh and on your earlier comment, its a common trend that displacement goes down, and power goes up. thats nothing that new

[wolverboy2]

well actually the chevy trailblazer has a 4.2 liter that generates 275 hp so I think your numbers are a little off

[pyrositytube]

lol so are yours

291 hp (217 kW) 277 lb·ft (376 N·m) all-aluminum 4.2 L "Atlas" LL8

you know HP/ tourqe rateing is at chevy web site ya know lol

[blueeyedguy9520]

My 07' stock 4.2_____ Factory says stock hp is 185hp

And to the guy who raced a TB and thought it was gutless..........Try racin someone who knows how to drive and also takes care of his ride and uses 92 octane isntead of that cheep am/pm gas. Your jeep gets worse milage anyway and you might think its faster because of your gear ratios are alot shorter than the TB Optional gear packages!!!! OH YA YOUR AN ASS CLOWN TO TOP IT OFF.

[pyrositytube]

?

185?

wtf

more like

291 hp (217 kW) 277 lb·ft (376 N·m) all-aluminum 4.2 L "Atlas" LL8

[abz520]

@lol123m

The Trailblazers motor is a little smaller but the 4.2l inline six is rated at 290hp, where as the 4.3 v6 in the older Blazer is rated at 190hp. The Trailblazer has the most standard HP in its class. I have the 5.3l version with 300Hp and 3.73 gears and it pretty quick, its no SS though. So you see displacement is not everything and get your facts strait before you trash a particular vehicle.

[dfton]

@abz520 straight, not strait.

[94crapalier]

@lol123m Why would it matter? The 4.2 has more power than the 4.3 anyways..

[Rudeboi253]

@lol123m I know its an old post but the blazer is gutless compared to the trailblazer with a vortec I6...

[Geoffb210862]

@lol123m You don't know what you are talking about at all. You say the blazer is better because it has a 4.3 and a trailblazer/envoy has a 4.2, but look up the stats they have 85 more horsepower than the a blazer. I have an envoy and it's wayyyy faster than my buddies blazer

[TheAwolmind]

@lol123m The 4.2 has more HP than any stock 4.3, 4.2 had 270hp in 02, 275from 03-05, 291 in 06-07 with an average torque of 275ft#. the 4.3 had 180hp with 235 ft# torque, (even the Cyclone only had 195 w/260 # torque. Drive one and put your foot down they run great.

They didn't need the gutless 5.3 v8 in them people just wanted a V8. The are less nimble than the Blazers, I'll give you that.

[GMCman82]

@TheAwolmind the syclone was rated at 280hp but ppl who put them on the dyno found they were more around 320hp. gm under rated them for insurance reasons. someone i know showed me the brochure of the one he bought new and it had its factory hp rating on it which was 280. as far as the 4.2 and 4.3, ppl look at the liters and think they know which one is better because of the slightly bigger 4.3 but the 4.2 runs amazingly well. its the strongest best running I6 ive driven. lousy mileage but fun.

[Magnuspire]

@lol123m Incorrect, Trailbazers had 4.3L v6's until chevy brought the newer motor in.

[jaffey2006]

@lol123m

Yeah, the blazer had the 4.3L V-6. It also was putting out about 150 horsepower, which is almost half that of the 280ish horsepower the Vortec 4200 is putting out. If a stock Blazer and a Trailblazer were to race, the trailblazer would smoke the blazer, even being hundreds of pounds heavier. Can your Blazer tow 6000 pounds? Didn't think so.

[whittaker691]

@lol123m the 4.2 is a inline 6 with a lot more hp the the blazer, know what you are talking about before posting

[jamesbodeis]

@lol123m This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Look up the power numbers of the old 4.3 and put them against the power numbers of the 4.2. Not even close.

[lwclassbrats69]

@lol123m

I6 4.2

2003–2005 275 hp (205 kW), 275 ft·lbf (373 N·m)

The blazers

V6 4.3 only pulls 220hp

Do your homework kid

[lwclassbrats69]

@lol123m

4.3 only pulls about 230HP

The 4.2l I6 pulls 275

so its much more powerful and the torque pretty much matches the horsepower, I have a 2000 Zr2 S10

and my wifes 2004 trailblazer ls smokes me getting on the freeway

[martijncola]

cool bold look of the muffler beeing the exhaust tip at once, but you should have made it look better by tucking the muffler behind the bumper??? just an idea...

[Urlacher999]

Instead of replacing the resonator with a muffler you should have completely taken of the resonator and straight piped it with a nice tip and put the flowmaster where the existing muffler is. If you do that it will sound good.

[heatherandpaul2]

Bigma, you cut out your resonator, BUT you do still have a muffler. Cut that uot to man. IOt will sound better.

[discojo24]

damn near the dumbest thing ive ever seen.

[ridelow25]

everybody has there preference. but isnt it a waste of money to put a performance sounding muffler that already flows like shit on a vehicle that already has a slow flowing quiet muffler? im glad ur happy with it, just seems like a waste of money.

[tremer88]

looks better too

[gearhead291]

it would sound better if you just removed the resonator, and diddent add anything

[Bigmada]

I had the resonator off for a few week and I didn't like the sound.

[gearhead291]

ohh well some ppl like it some don't lol

[moneyonmymindd]

hey i like the dual tips man and thats a smooth sound keep it up

[smokintb]

omg there's not even enough pressure to get sound out of the flowmaster what a waste. mufflers belong underneath the vehichle there window licker you just wasted a great muffler and your money. nice try though

[ssjohn70]

hahahhaha...lol..crack.up

[gearhead291]

not ment to be at the end lol

[SSmokn02]

thats the ugliest thing i have ever seen.

[prophetlikeGOOS]

I believe the horsepower is rated around 295 and the torque is around 280...

[318magnum]

ppl bad mouthing 6 cylinder TrailBlazer, should look up what the engine is putting out Hp/Torque be 4 typing shit!!!

[UnderpaidHero]

sounds like shit...grow some nuts and get a V8.

[Bigmada]

I need some nuts so your girl has something to touch while she sucks my d/ck.

[OriginalRanger84]

flowmasters sound way better eith pipe after the muffler.

Hide it under the suv somewhere and have atleast 3 ft coming out after the muffler. dual 2" or 2 1/4" pipes would be pretty cool.

[spynldoc]

Yup...... and your a dick.

[othman252]

I agree

[killllu5]

cut off the factory muffler

[jgvikings]

can you beat a totota tercell 1992 in a race

[savage69000]

:S idiots... you dont install at the end of your tail pipe.... fucken idiots... looks like shit too

[bluX69]

lmao +1

[joshuahenderson3]

I had 40series on my 02TB. Then I pulled that off and put the new 44series on. Then I pulled the cats. Then I put on a hooker cutout just before the muffler. It sounds sick. You wouldnt think its a 4.2 under the hood.

[vb6josh]

Not to be hating, but that does not sound all that great. i agree with bradzookatooth

[bradzookatooth]

that was quieter than stock!!! what the hell?

[tremer88]

niiice. almost sounds like a nissan skyline rb26de straight 6!

[chasing1safety]

all you have to say is RB26 dude...people know what youre talking about.

[alexo707]

Flowmaster mufflers are not preaty but they have a superior sound. I rather have an ugly muffler and get a good tone with performance than a prety stainless steel piece of crap!

[bigvinvbz]

i got a 2003 Trailblazet EXT 5.3 V8

[DoriftoS14]

Flowmasters sound good, and are good quality but its best to have them ceramic coated to prevent rust, they tend to rust the most all along the welds over time.

[DoriftoS14]

ehh...crappy aluminized steel flowmasters, over time they just rust and look like crap...its all about stainless steel or titanium.

[Bigmada]

I did not know that. I think there is some surface rust on it now. :(

[DemonOfRazgriz89]

im not tryin to be a hater, but i just dont see the point of puttin on aftermarket exhaust on a TrailBlazer...

[440hemirt70]

i say yes, cause a Trailblazer (LS),(LTZ), looks excellent, but that fat exhaust just ruined the good looks. and besides, those particular Trailblazer Models a better exhaust sound than what the standard exhaust sound has..

[1983juventus]

he didnt put on aftermarket exhaust... he replaced the resonator with a muffler. like the title says, guy.

[440hemirt70]

i love how the way you placed an dual exhaust, instead of the standard exhaust you see on most Trailblazer (Ls),(LTZ).

[Bigmada]

Thank You
